@Holyetheline Agreed. I'm just really impressed how fast gearbox is responding to the bugs, complaints, etc. It's nice to see a company actually confirm and work on fixing this stuff right away.

i'll get this game when it's bug free. seriously i'm hearing too much bad things about this...

@Steel Brotha
It really isn't nearly as broken as it sounds, I have 5 or so friends with it (all on 360, I'll admit), but we've had nothing but a blast with it, no bugs whatsoever.

I've had nothing but a flawless experience so far, but I haven't tried co-op yet. I have no friends who have bought the game yet and I don't like playing games like this with strangers.

kauza and I have the same problem.

I would be a sad panda if this happened to me good thing I haven't encountered anything like this yet.

Hope they find the fix soon!!

@mabman Actually, I have had no problem hosting online games. In fact, I did yesterday, and there were no ill effects. If you feel it is a COMPLETE port, just use a 360 controller to play it. Otherwise, try and get used to it before blasting it as the worst game to ever come into existence after barely 24 hours of being released. Crap happens.

Anyhow, luckily, I have not come across this bug. That would be pretty bad, but as long as I keep my weapons I'm fine. Rocket-shooting shotguns and Fire-based Sniper Rifles being gone? I would rage...for a while.

I'm about 20 hours in on my first playthrough on Xbox 360, and have yet to encounter a single noteworthy glitch or bug.

Reading this had better not have "cursed" me with getting this bug anytime soon. I would hate to put many hours into a character just for them to get wiped within seconds. At least Gearbox isn't ignoring the complaints. So far I only remember running into a bug where killing a boss monster didn't open up the exit gate for the area.

@kauza - I have gotten stuck in that vehilce pobably 15 times, and it respawns you in the SAME FRIGGIN one every time. But thats ok, it's minor compared to the major FUN of Borderlands!

Big Money, Big Prizes, I love it!

Glad I found this out. I just got my hunter to level 50 and was ready to take him online xD;

"Seems like that's more of the issue than anything else."

I know, how dare I as a lowly plebe of an employee who put effort and care into a job that was below my skill level express any disdain at a shitty company. I'm sorry I'll keep my place in society now and break more rocks. I guess I should state again that I love this game and get upset when they end product isn't allowed the proper time to develop and be a top quality game. My axe that I grind has to do with that but yes 2k is a shitty company to test for.

this is the best game thats came out this year so far imo, no issues yet.

however, being a higher or lower level than your friends, with the handicap gearbox put in,,, its just retarded. you have level caps on the eapons, no need for handicap on the chars, especially the lower level guys

Yeah sorry moop but it seems you're more disgruntled than anything else. Maybe if you seemed a bit more level headed in your presentation of this "fucking joke" I and my fellow skeptical comrades would listen. Especially your "Everyone's wrong but me," attitude.

@stanfy86 ...No, you are wrong sir, I have a Blackbird..... And I know how to port forward and change setting in the .ini file. If you do not believe me, go look at the borderlands forums and see just WHO has problems...

oh wow, i diddnt think that the issue was that bad, but still i think if they patch this soon, it wont be that big of a deal, and i find it kinda funny how i have a pretty old system (bout 3 yrs. cept for the video card), and im not having any issues....

I read about this bug from people that were playing the game before offical release a week ago. Needless to say, I won't be playing online until a fix is in place. I'm fine with Single player for now...the game ROCKS!!!

Maybe I am being a bit harsh; but still - PC version is a mess. Single player is alright; but I didn't buy it for the single player. As it stands, Borderlands has rust as a polish level, even the Anti-Aliasing doesn't work correctly.

yeah, single player, no bugs on my end. I'm making my friends come over to play the game. Hopefully they will like it and get hooked and then want to buy it so I can play with them. I really don't want to go online anymore to play this until a fix is in place. Or maybe I'll just go on with a brand new character so that if anything wipes i'll just be where I was 2 hours ago instead of a week ago.

@moop2000

I used to be a GM for SOE and I loved working there in the GM pit. Everything was laid back and really cool. I got laid off for REASONS and my supervisor got me into the testing department. 2k's testing department seems like it was just the same as SOE's. Although I quit to go work for my current employer (Financial Industry FTW, pays way better than testing ^__^) they were unresponsive to what I felt were valid bugs that should have been fixed. They were also dicking around with my contract and the end date. The temp company kept saying it was until december, the leads said end of october and the devs said they would need testers until mid september only. I'm guessing the really passionate testers feel the way you do everyday. I hear where you're coming from because it sounds like we had similar experiences for the most part.

I believe what you are saying is true about Borderlands. I, however, have not had problems and am having a blast with the game. I just have to balance it now with Ratchet and Clank since thats out today.

I'm having alot of trouble joining games on the 360; it keeps switching me from my second playtrough to my first, which means I cant complete any missions with anyone because i've already done them all.

Ah well, anyone wanna take on a big boss in co op? Theres a secret achievement for it, lemme know if your on the right level or whatever.

Play online live co-op every day, sometimes im to lazy to quit and i'll drop by those save nodes then just kill power, still haven't lost my data, but then again, it's a 360 nuff said.
